It’s also worth noting (and I love Bruce), that Bruce had a working actors mindset combined with a relationship with a major producer most other actors can only dream of.

I hope nothing but good things for Bruce Campbell, but even with that advantage he didn’t exactly set the world on fire.

You’d know after the 1st day though. Like I get it, but even assuming no one knew prior, that only excuses the first day.

I mean who are you asking? My personal opinion is any space that’s MCU heavy tends to automatically bump up MCU films and bump down Sony accordingly.

The problem is ultimately the Jared stuff falls under National Enquirer type stories. Daniel Day-Lewis for better or worse has not taken on comic characters and generally has chosen grounded stories, even when he was “the bad guy.”

For better or worse a lot of people already aren’t watching so some of what you’re seeing is just people driving by and going meh. I tried to like the first 2 seasons of Discovery but gave up.

That is also probably to some extent why pop culture moments don’t seem to happen the same way. Something like Star Wars could crowd everything else out because there wasn’t a substitute being released 5 minutes later. Everyone didn’t have Tumblr/Reddit/Etc. to OD on the topic after 1 month.

I mean, so don’t support Disney then?

Have a cookie?

TBH - an army of tweens beating everyone isn’t much of a shock to me.

Honestly I thought it was weird he wasn’t mentioned.

Executives should keep in mind that although Marvel fans own the box office, that’s not necessarily something that’s been replicated in games.  Game fans actually have their own properties in a way Movies haven’t seemed to be able to do for a few decades.  John Wick and... ?

Being a “traditional” capital G Gamer before that was even a thing, I believe to some extent caring about what others think about your gaming habits is by itself self-defeating. I mean, outside of my friends we didn’t care who like Doom, or Space Quest or Space Harrier or Defenders or Phantasy Star. As I’ve grown…

For an entry level game, sure.

I mean this is Disney. The milquetoast version of “deep” is, “isn’t everyone kind of an asshole?”

Here’s the thing - what people will tolerate and what they won’t is largely an arbitrary line which is both personal but at the same time social.

Ok - I’ll tell you what it means from a writing perspective. In a fanfiction context there are no limits. You can write any number of amazing Luke stories without the baggage. Just keep writing and you can fill thousands of pages of awesome post RoTJ Luke stories.

Which makes a lot of sense. “Wary of attachment” now has a huge amount of canon poking holes in it but the reality is he’s just lifting from Buddhism there.

The thing is, “straight man” (character-type) is usually a very, very good writing tool to deal with colorful characters. The problem with X-Men is they just don’t do it in any way that’s endearing. He exists to make other characters “cool” which isn’t really how human beings work.

‘Eh -

That’s the problem. There may be a group of people who are OK with Luke just missing the point of his own films. But honestly, a lot of us just aren’t. It feels like a writers cheap convenience to tell the story they want to tell. The cheapness of it is the problem (for us).
